To run Cypress tests in VS Code, you'll need to first install the Cypress module by running npm install cypress in your project's root directory. Then, open the project in VS Code and install the Cypress extension in the editor by searching for "Cypress" in the extension marketplace. Once the extension is installed, you can open the Cypress Test Runner by clicking on the "Run Cypress" button in the sidebar, or by running the command "Cypress: Open" in the command palette. You can also configure Cypress test to run in the VS Code by adding "cypress:run" script in your package.json file.

To run Cypress tests in VS Code, follow these steps:

  1. Open your project in VS Code.
  2. Install the Cypress module by opening a terminal in VS Code and running the following command: npm install cypress
  3. Install the Cypress extension for VS Code by going to the extension marketplace (click on the square icon on the left sidebar) and searching for "Cypress". Click the "Install" button to add the extension to your editor.
  4. Once the installation is complete, you can open the Cypress Test Runner in VS Code. There are two ways to do this: Click on the "Cypress" icon in the sidebar. Open the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P), search for "Cypress: Open", and select the option that appears.
  5. The Cypress Test Runner will open in a new tab. From there, you can select and run your tests.


Alternatively, you can configure Cypress to run tests directly from the VS Code terminal:

  1. In your package.json file, add a script to run Cypress tests: "scripts": { "cypress:run": "cypress run" }
  2. Open a terminal in VS Code and run the Cypress script: npm run cypress:run


This will run your Cypress tests and display the results in the terminal.
